HIDDEN BUN

Cate Blanchett

By starting with a tousled texture, Cate Blanchett transformed a stiff style into something much softer. First, loosely curl your hair (use a thermal protector, like Tresemmé Thermal Creations Heat Tamer Spray) and clip up three sections: one at the top of your head and one by each of your ears. Back-comb the piece that's left, then roll it into a knot, and secure it with U-shaped pins at the nape of your neck, Fugate says. Take the two sides down, and one at a time, drape them across the back over the top of the bun. "You'll want to cover the tops of the ears to keep it soft," Fugate says. Pin each one down, weaving the ends into the chignon. Rake the last section back with your fingers, crisscrossing the pieces and tucking the ends into the top of the knot. "The volume at the sides should be the same as the top," Fugate says. "Otherwise it will be too pompadour-ish."
